Hotel Bayrishes Haus is exceptional -- 5 stars, and the best quality hotel I have even stayed. I don't normally leave my reviews as others would have reviewed very well. This hotel is the one where the real pictures are much better than the online pictures. When I entered, I was surprised by the new, spotless furniture and corridors. There are a few pieces of antique furniture, but the interior was shiny and well decorated with fresh roses, and nice wallpapers. The bathroom in my room has spotless stone titles all around. The towels and lines are brand new and have a very comforting smell. The breakfast room has very nice chinaware and there were many food selections. My favorite is the steam room, relaxing lounge and “waterfall” shower, foot bath … so nice!
I have to say the service staff were very help. I went a conference nearby, and almost always came back after the steam room hours. I asked Steven in the front desk twice, and he helped me to restart the steam and dry sauna room. This was definitely the highlight!
The hotel itself is located in peaceful wood. There are patios for the restaurant and the breakfast place. I heard birds singing all the time. Although I was hit by a heat wave in Potsdam (30-35 degrees daily), I still enjoyed my days here. I rented a bike to my conference hotel “Seminaris Seehotel” near the lake, and rode my bike in the nearby woods or roads there, which was 10-15 mins. The lake was beautiful, and there were one café and one restaurant there.
